With the extra usb port the mini port would remain unused and allow for
either charging in auto-detected fast charge mode or an additional host,
right?
I thought it would be more elegant if the neo itself would distribute
power from some extrernal supply to itself and the usb device;
additionally i usually dont't carry that adapter around, whereas the usb
jack would be built-in (now again, is this a standard usb host the bt
module is connected to?)
I believe pulster and trisoft carry spare displays here in germany, i'll
look into getting one from them.
